New products and solutions 

Amagi pioneered cloud-architected products and solutions that went on to disrupt the industry, providing new avenues to media companies to scale their business. Amagi created unique solutions for every stage of the broadcasting workflow. This includes broadcast-grade 24x7 linear channel creation, channel distribution to traditional Pay TV, OTT and Free Ad-supported Streaming TV platforms, live orchestration for sports and news, OTT server-side ad insertion and analytics for monetization, and cost-effective disaster recovery, among others. 

Impact of disruptive technologies in the future of work
Disruptive technologies are completely new innovations that have radically changed an industry. Machine learning & Artificial Intelligence led automation has touched every type of industry today. With automation, new roles have also come into existence and the need for skilled professionals to occupy them.  Monitoring TV broadcast for compliance and regulations or for quality can now be largely supported by AI/ML systems. Disruptive technologies push the human workforce from the monotonous repetition of operational tasks towards innovative thinking and creating. It is transforming the workforce, business models and the economy as we know it.

Adopting working arrangements to flexibly meet business needs
Amagi has similarly adopted a flexible approach with our working arrangements. We have offered employees the option to work fully from the office (with safety measures in place), partly from the office and partly from home, or completely from home. We believe that offering a mix of options to employees is essential in ensuring that they’re comfortable in their choice of working space. It has also removed limitations on location, as we can now engage with a talent pool that is not necessarily in your city(ies) of operation(s).
